BOOK CLUB SELECTIONS
An American Marriage // “Newlyweds Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of both the American Dream and the New South. He is a young executive, and she is an artist on the brink of an exciting career. But as they settle into the routine of their life together, they are ripped apart by circumstances neither could have imagined. Roy is arrested and sentenced to twelve years for a crime Celestial knows he didn’t commit. Though fiercely independent, Celestial finds herself bereft and unmoored, taking comfort in Andre, her childhood friend, and best man at their wedding. As Roy’s time in prison passes, she is unable to hold on to the love that has been her center. After five years, Roy’s conviction is suddenly overturned, and he returns to Atlanta ready to resume their life together.“ – Amazon
I have heard SO MANY wonderful things about this book and seriously cannot wait to dive into it! Although, if you aren’t in the mood for a tearjerker… this isn’t the right book for you. I heard heard that it really pulls at the heart strings so reader beware!
EDIT: I will of course add an edit once I finish the book and let you know what I think!

The King of Lies // “Jackson Workman Pickens―known to most as Work―mindlessly holds together his life: a failing law practice left to him when his father, Ezra, mysteriously disappeared, a distant wife, and a fragile sister, Jean, damaged by the shared past they’ve endured.
And then Ezra’s body is discovered.
Set to inherit his father’s fortune, Work becomes a prime suspect. But so does Jean. Fearing the worst, Work launches his own investigation, crossing paths with a power-hungry detective, a string of damning evidence, and the ugly rumors that swirl within his small, moneyed Southern town. Desperate for the redemption that has eluded him for so many years and stripped of everything he once valued, Work fights to save his sister, clear his name, and regain the love of the woman to whom he gave his heart so many years before.“ – Amazon
My best friends mom recommended this book to me and I am so excited to read about it. It is a local author and he bases a lot of his stories off the area & people around him!
EDIT: I will of course add an edit once I finish the book and let you know what I think!
